The Ultimate Obama Survival Guide,

Hello, I’m Wayne Allyn Root for Personal Liberty. My new book, The Ultimate Obama Survival Guide, was released just days ago, hot off the presses. And timing is everything in life, because at this moment our economic survival is very much in question. Have you seen the latest numbers on jobs, workforce participation, retail sales and consumer confidence? One word sums it all up: disaster. Shouldn’t the American people have a right to know what our President’s real economic agenda is? Is he out to help us or hurt us? I have a story that sheds light on that life-or-death question.
President Barack Obama and I were college classmates at Columbia University, class of ’83. I know all too well how mindlessly radical and in many cases, anti-American and hostile to capitalism the leftist students and faculty of that institution can be, and Obama was certainly no exception. It is in this cesspool of intolerance that Obama and his Marxist cronies hatched a secret plan to destroy our country.
There are two things you need to know about Obama at Columbia University. First, he was pre-law and a political science major — just like me. I thought I knew everyone studying political science during my four years at Columbia. Not Obama. I never met him, never saw him, never even heard of him. Strange.
Same major, same career path and graduated on the same day. Where was he? Was he busy attending communist party meetings? No need to guess. In his autobiography he proudly admits attending Socialist Party meetings at Cooper Union in downtown Manhattan. He also admits publicly in his own book to not wanting to meet or befriend anyone at Columbia who wasn’t black, Hispanic, gay or a Marxist professor — his words, in print. So it’s possible he was so busy attending communist meetings and trying to avoid guys like me (white, straight, patriotic) that our paths never crossed.
But it’s the second thing you really need to know about Obama at Columbia. He says he graduated class of ’83. Let’s give him the benefit of the doubt. I always have. Well, then, Obama had to attend the same political science classes as me. I can tell you, almost to a man, my classmates in the class of ’83 proudly called themselves Marxist, communist or socialist. They bragged of being “radical” like a badge of honor. They openly hated America, calling it racist. They hated capitalism and vowed to bring “the system down.”
In my class the typical Columbia political science student vowed to change America, bankrupt business owners and vaporize what they called “the white power structure.” For the most part these were children of wealth, given everything on a silver platter. Yet all they felt was anger and guilt. Their goal was to destroy their own fathers. They talked about it all day long.
So let me tell you a story that explains the anger, hate and radicalism. Back in 1981, I was sitting in a political science class. The President at the time was Ronald Reagan, a man reviled by the left just as viciously as any Republican is today. Suddenly, our lecture was interrupted by a door swinging open violently, whereupon a breathless fellow student raced into the room screaming: “The President has been shot! They’ve just assassinated President Reagan.”
Reagan was my hero. The news hit me like a ton of bricks. I instantly felt sick to my stomach and tears flowed down my cheeks. But it was the response of the rest of the class that I will remember for the rest of my life. They cheered. They clapped, they yelled, they high-fived and they whooped in sheer, unadulterated joy. My fellow classmates, the ones I was naïvely trying so hard to befriend despite their radical leftist views, were happy that my hero, President Ronald Reagan, was dead (or so they thought). They were celebrating what they thought was the assassination of America’s President. Incidentally, if Obama actually went to Columbia, he’d almost certainly have to have been in that class leading the cheers. Feel like you need a shower yet?
Lest you think I’m exaggerating, British leftists just celebrated and cheered upon hearing of the death of Margaret Thatcher only days ago. It was all over the news. Some Brits held parties celebrating her death. Nothing has changed.
But wait, the most frightening and eye-opening revelation is still to come. You see, political science students at Columbia were taught a detailed plan designed by two former Columbia professors named Richard Andrew Cloward and Frances Fox Piven to bring down “the system,” destroy capitalism and turn America into a socialist state. We discussed it in class, wrote about it and debated it outside class. It was a hot topic of discussion around the halls of Columbia for four years.
The plan was revolting, but brilliant. Cloward and Piven taught that America could be destroyed only from within. Only by overwhelming the system with debt, welfare and entitlements could capitalism and the American economy be destroyed. So the plan was to make a majority of Americans dependent on welfare, food stamps, disability, unemployment and entitlements of all kinds. Then, under the weight of the debt, the system would implode and the economy collapse, bankrupting business owners (i.e., conservative donors). Americans would be brought to their knees, begging for big government to save them. Voilà! You’d have a new system: a system based on fairness, equality and social justice. It’s called socialism.
Sound familiar?
Lo and behold, one of my classmates was elected as President. And it’s clear as a bell that he is using that plan right now to destroy America, capitalism and the U.S. economy right in front of our eyes. It’s the exact plan hatched at Columbia University in our college days — exact in every way.
Under Obama, 660,000 Americans dropped off the job rolls… just last month. Ninety million working-age, able-bodied Americans are no longer in the workforce. Almost 50 million Americans are on food stamps (20 percent of all eligible adults). Fourteen million are on disability. Millions more are on welfare, unemployment and so many different categories of entitlements that my head is spinning. Now, add in free healthcare, plus 22 million government employees. Record-setting numbers of Americans are emptying their retirement accounts to survive. Student loan debt is a national disaster — with defaults up 36 percent from a year ago. Some 16.4 million Americans live in poverty… in the suburbs.
Liberals joked about Sarah Palin seeing Russia from her home in Alaska. Well, I’m betting Obama sees Cloward and Piven from every window at the White House.
Remember the plan from Columbia? Overwhelm the system with debt. Obama promised to cut the deficit in half; instead, he gave us five consecutive trillion-dollar deficits. He promised to spend responsibly; instead, he now owns the title of “biggest spender in world history.” He called Bush’s $4 trillion in debt over eight years reckless, then proceeded to pile on $6 trillion in only four years. He added 6,118 new rules, regulations and mandates in just the past 90 days. He claimed taxes are low, yet he just raised taxes to the same level as bankrupt EU countries like Greece, Spain, Italy and France. Our Federal income taxes are now far higher than the former Soviet Republics’.
Now, I ask you: Does this sound like a man trying to “save” us? Folks, this is Cloward and Piven. This is Karl Marx, who despised the middle class and vowed to wipe it out. This is Saul Alinsky (Obama’s mentor) who dedicated his book — Obama’s favorite book by the way — to Lucifer, the devil.
This is no accident; nor is it the work of an economically inept liberal. This is a purposeful plan to drown the nation in debt and hook a majority to government handouts, happening in front of our eyes. It’s crystal clear Obama’s plan was hatched in our college days at Columbia, class of ’83.
While I never met Obama at Columbia, I can certainly put him at the scene of the crime. He either went to Columbia, or he didn’t. If he didn’t, he’s a fraud. If he did, he knew the Cloward and Piven plan like the back of his hand. He studied it. And his goal — like almost all my classmates’ — was to use it to bring down the U.S. economy and destroy capitalism to create what they consider to be “equality, fairness and social justice.”
Why would anyone want to purposely collapse the economy you might ask? Alinsky taught the ends justify the means. A bankrupt America wipes out the middle class and small business. That wipes out the majority of donors to conservatives causes, meaning Obama has no opposition. It creates “equality” by putting everyone on equal footing (shared misery). It causes panic; and in panic, voters often make hasty decisions — like choosing big government to save them.
The destruction and devastation we see happening right now is the plan we learned, studied and discussed day and night at Columbia. This is the Marxist attack from within designed by Cloward and Piven. And it’s working. Obama has been working on his plan for 30 years (our 30th Columbia class reunion is next month).
Now it is time for us to get to work. It’s time for battle.
It all starts with the battle plan in my new book, The Ultimate Obama Survival Guide. America’s survival is in doubt, but yours doesn’t have to be. You have a duty to survive, to protect your assets, to save your family. You must create your own “booming personal economy,” no matter what Obama does to the American economy. Your mission is to survive, thrive and prosper despite Obama. I’ve got an 18-point plan called Y-PODS that empowers you to do that. Y-PODS stands for Your Personal Obama Defense Shield.
You can find my book, The Ultimate Obama Survival Guide, at Amazon.com, where it is already a best-seller. It hit No. 1 of all conservative books, No. 1 of all finance books and No. 28 of all 3 million books sold at Amazon before it ever came out. That is how frightened people are at what Obama is doing to America and our economy.
You can also find it at any major book seller such as Barnes & Noble, Costco or Sam’s Club. Or you can find more information in the box right under this article. Just look for the book cover of The Ultimate Obama Survival Guide to order your very own copy.

Why O’Reilly, Beck, etal. ridicule “the Birthers”

IT’S THE “RIDICULE RULE” OF SAUL DAVID ALINKSY
Political Analysis by Neil Sankey, © 2010

(Jan 24, 2010) — First let’s consider some quotes to understand better relevance of Alinsky in contemporary Politics.

Rules for Radicals, Saul David Alinsky, 1971: “Ridicule is man’s most potent weapon. It is almost impossible to counterattack ridicule. Also, it infuriates the opposition, who then react to your advantage.”

Letter from L. David Alinsky, son of Neo-Marxist Saul Alinsky: “Obama learned his lesson well. I am proud to see that my father’s model for organizing is being applied successfully beyond local community organizing to affect the Democratic campaign in 2008. It is a fine tribute to Saul Alinsky as we approach his 100th birthday.”

Hillary, Obama and the Cult of Alinsky: “True revolutionaries do not flaunt their radicalism, Alinsky taught. They cut their hair, put on suits and infiltrate the system from within. Alinsky viewed revolution as a slow, patient process. The trick was to penetrate existing institutions such as churches, unions and political parties…. Many leftists view Hillary as a sell-out because she claims to hold moderate views on some issues. However, Hillary is simply following Alinsky’s counsel to do and say whatever it takes to gain power.

Richard Poe (11-27-07): “Barack Obama is also an Alinskyite…. Obama spent years teaching workshops on the Alinsky method. In 1985 he began a four-year stint as a community organizer in Chicago, working for an Alinskyite group called the Developing Communities Project…. Camouflage is key to Alinsky-style organizing. While trying to build coalitions of black churches in Chicago, Obama caught flak for not attending church himself. He became an instant churchgoer.”

Let us try to understand what went wrong here. I am daily struggling with facts that are very apparent, yet amazing and very hard to believe. It is very difficult to believe that you have been duped and misled for most of your adult life, and yet that is one of the basic facts that many people of the world, especially the USA and the United Kingdom will have to come to terms with, if they are to maintain or regain their respective identities.

Our good nature, our generosity and our love of freedom has been hi-jacked and subverted by the Communist / Marxist / extremist thirst for total power and world domination. And we were fooled, totally taken in, duped and subverted, both true Democrats and Republicans alike. We see examples of this indoctrination on Television daily.

Bill O’Reilly, Glenn Beck, Sean Hannity, Anne Coulter, the list goes on. Conservative, Republicans, Independents? debatable, but one thing is certain, if you mention the “Birthers” or “Eligibility,” they will burst into uncontrollable laughter and derision, getting off the subject just as soon as they are able. “Why, aren’t we all on the same side?” you ask. The answer is simple: It is because these well known media pundits have allowed themselves to become, despite their “Right wing” reputations, Marxist puppets, responding as they (we) have been conditioned, for most of our lives, to respond.
O’Reilly and Beck, etc., “MARXIST PUPPETS?

How ridiculous”? But, these pundits, these same TV personalities have done us, the public, a major disservice in not keeping up, not reading and educating themselves enough to recognize the traps that had been set for them, and which they willingly tumbled into at Obama’s behest. They have allowed themselves to be used, intending to defeat the Birthers. Just like the Press!

Yes, what you have seen and heard hundreds of times in the past couple of years is nothing more than Pundits and the people reacting how they have been trained and conditioned to react by the students of Saul David Alinsky. Alinsky, the man and the name, is barely known to the greater majority of Americans. This man must now be exposed for what he was, if America is to survive. It is important now to be able to recognize and identify his methods and principles if we are to negate those methods and understand the pressures being thrust upon us.

You may deride the “Birthers,” but one thing is certain, if we were able to remove the person who purports to be President, and negate the almost irreparable damage he has wrought on our Country, we would all breathe a collective sigh of relief and at least have the opportunity to “Get it right next time.” His “Eligibility” could arguably offer such an opportunity, it could very well save America as we know it.
The Long Term Strategy of Alinsky

First we must understand how we got in this mess. To do that, we have to know the man and be aware of the strategies of Saul David Alinsky.

Through the machinations of Barack Hussein Obama and his “friends”, Alinsky’s methods are currently dangerously close to changing America for ever. Alinsky did not invent the “Dogma”, he strategized it, he “Organized” it. However, in the Alinsky model it is important to remember that “Organizing” is a euphemism for “REVOLUTION”

Saul David Alinsky was born to Benjamin and Sarah (Tannenbaum) Alinsky on January 30, 1909 in Chicago. His parents were Russian-Jewish immigrants. When Alinsky was 13 years of age, his parents were divorced. After his parents split up, Alinsky went to Los Angles with his father and lived there. Later, he came back to Chicago and pursued his studies at the University of Chicago. He went on to acquire a doctorate in archeology from the university in 1930. Archeology was not needed in Chicago in those days and he became involved with the study of Criminology. In 1931 he went to work as a sociologist for the Illinois Division of Juvenile Research while also serving at the Institute for Criminal Research and the Illinois Prison Board. In 1936 Alinsky left his positions with the state agencies to cofound the Back-of-the-Yards Neighborhood Council. This was his first effort to build a neighborhood citizen reform group, a form of activity which would earn Alinsky a reputation as a radical reformer. Known as a “Fellow-Traveler” (Communist), he always insisted that he never did became a member of the Communist Party, but he did develop the tactics of “Confrontation and Infiltration” and began to develop his radical rules for “Community Organizing” He also, interestingly became close friends with many prominent leaders of the Chicago Mob, particularly Al Capone and his gang. A close friend, who he admitted, “Taught him much”, was Frank Nitti, Capone’s second in command. (Chicago machine? – all too familiar!)

Alinsky went on to establish his very specific set of rules which his followers could adopt to gain power over the masses. These “Rules” are now readily recognizable in American behavior, particularly in Politics, over the past two or three years. These rules are described, as follows, in an excellent article entitled Saul Alinsky and DNC Corruption, written and published in 2003 by Diane Alden.
Alinsky’s rules

* “Wherever possible go outside the experience of the enemy. Here you want to cause confusion, fear and retreat.”

* “Make the enemy live up to his/her own book of rules. You can kill them with this. They can no more obey their own rules than the Christian church can live up to Christianity.”

* Ridicule is man’s most potent weapon. It is almost impossible to counterattack ridicule. Also, it infuriates the opposition, who then react to your advantage.”

* “The threat is generally more terrifying than the thing itself.”

* “In a fight almost anything goes. It almost reaches the point where you stop to apologize if a chance blow lands above the belt.”

* “Pick the target, freeze it, personalize it and polarize it.” (Think Gingrich, Lott and the success of name-calling used by the likes of Bill Clinton, Paul Begala, James Carville, Maxine Waters and others against conservatives and Republicans.

* “One of the criteria for picking the target is the target’s vulnerability … the other important point in the choosing of a target is that it must be a personification, not something general and abstract.” (Trent Lott comes to mind. Meanwhile, a former Klansman by the name of Sen. Robert Byrd got away with saying “nigger” on Fox News at least three times, and he still maintains his Senate seat and power.)
* “The enemy properly goaded and guided in his reaction will be your major strength.”

For instance, Democrats imply conservatives are racists or that Republicans want to kill senior citizens by limiting the growth of the Medicare system, they imply Republicans want to deny kids lunch money without offering real proof. These red-herring tactics work.

The revolution has not been dramatic, or swift, but has followed many, many years of careful preparation, infiltration and penetration of Churches, Unions, Judiciary and of course the Press and Media. They have subtly and surely drained the power and authority from the decision making processes by corrupting those entities. These are precisely the tactics advocated by Lenin and Stalin.

In 1971 Alinsky published his third book, Rules for Radicals: A Political Primer for Practical Radicals, in which set out his basic ideas concerning neighborhood reform. A year later, on June 12, 1972, he died of a heart attack near his home in Carmel, California.

There is no doubt that Alinsky was a devoted and dangerous Marxist, he was described as “Charming and self absorbed, always the center of attraction, narcissistic and maintaining a scholarly, academic appearance. ” (Remind you of anyone?)
